Any suggestions?

Move.

Don't move! NY is a great place to meet someone. There are so many men and little to do. A lot of the women are unattractive, materialistic and put out way too easily. You can definitely land a quality guy if you go to the right places.

A lot of the private yacht clubs allow non-members to crew for members or have summer memberships. NYAC has "clubs within the club" for activities like sailing, sporting clays, etc.

I'm the PP. Big yes to NYAC.

I met and married a conservative man. A lot live on the upper east. Try dating sites and make it obvious but not too obvious that you're preppy. There are bars that cater to this but tend to be post grad. There are also sports leagues. I think you're meeting g these types of guys because of your industry and you simply need to venture out. You could also join the junior league to meet female friends which should help you at least figure out where these men are hanging out. Fortunately or unfortunately, many are working long hours

Are you looking for a person, or an image?

Move to Dallas.

Try Tinder, and look for 40 yo's.

Try Meetup dot com. Look for Singles Urban Hunting Enthusiasts

Why would a guy who likes to hunt live in NYC?
